I’m afraid that if I bake one more batch of Christmas Cookies my ears might start turning pointy on top. I set today aside to do nothing but bake. Little did I know my kitchen would end up turning in to a cookie workshop. Sugar Cookies, Peanut Butter Blossoms, Italian S Cookies, and Red and Green M&M Cookies were amongst the delights coming out of my oven. I counted and all in all I baked a total of more than 600 cookies. You can just start calling me Keebler!

3/4 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. sugar

1 c. shortening

1 1/2 c. peanut butter

1/2 c. sugar

2 egg

1 1/2. t. vanilla

1 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

2 1/2 c. flour

Using a stand mixer or electric mixers, cream together sugar, brown sugar, shortening, and peanut butter. Add eggs. In a separate bowl mix together dry ingredients. Then, add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until well combine. Form dough into walnut size balls, then roll each ball in sugar to coat. Place balls of dough on an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 350 for about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and press a Hershey Kiss down into each. Let cool.
